原因不明症狀促使美國撤離若干駐華人員
The United States says it has sent "a number" of people back home after conducting medical screenings of diplomats and families in Guangzhou, China in response to mystery symptoms suffered by a U.S. government employee.
The State Department issued a health warning last month after the employee reported experiencing "subtle and vague, but abnormal, sensations of sound and pressure" and was diagnosed with a mild traumatic brain injury.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo described it as a "serious medical incident.''
Spokeswoman Heather Nauert issued a statement late Wednesday saying the department had sent a medical team to Guangzhou to screen all employees and family members who requested it, resulting in an undisclosed number of people being sent to the United States for further evaluation.
Last year in Cuba, the United States reported that some of its personnel and family members experience a range of symptoms, often after hearing an unusual sound, but the cause is still unknown.美國國務院說，在對駐中國廣州的美國外交官及其家人進行體檢之後，已經讓“若干”人返回美國。此前，一名在中國廣州的美國政府工作人員出現了原因不明的症狀。
這名美國政府僱員感到“不易察覺且模糊的，異常的聲響和壓力”，被診斷大腦受到輕度損傷。隨後美國國務院上個月發出醫療警報。
蓬佩奧國務卿說，這是一個嚴重的健康事件。
國務院發言人諾爾特星期三晚上發表聲明說，國務院向廣州派出一個醫療小組，對所有提出要求的僱員及其親屬進行體檢，現已將數目不詳的一批人送回美國接受進一步檢查。
美國說，去年在古巴，一些美國政府人員及其家人在聽到奇怪的聲音後身體出現了多種症狀，但是原因至今尚未查明。
